My 1864 Lovibond XB should be about drinkable in 2 days! So I'll pop some in the fridge as soon as I get home. If the neighbour has been a good boy and only watered the plants and not himself by emptying the fridge, there should be some of those ales that @Dutto is wildly enthusiastic about! (but not really

Been busting a gut in the garden all day and I didn't drink yesterday so having a couple. Neipa and a black ipa. Happy days
Me too, all weekend, actually. Still lots to do, although I have to admit I am secretly enjoying it. Must be getting old!

Yeah love being outside gardening yet. Built another compost bin and dug up one of the front flower beds, although I may have cheated

Still losing weight. I'm now down to 113.1kg
My Basal Metabolic Rate is 1,900Kcal (i.e. the calories I need to stay the same weight if I do zero exercise) so anything under that figure is "losing weight", and today my total was 1,340Kcal taken as follows:
- 600Kcal from 1.5 litres of Youngs Lager (the "Hydraulic Supper" previously mentioned.)
- 450Kcal from a home made chicken curry.
- 100 Kcal from Rice Crackers.
- 90Kcal from Ginger Nut biscuits.
- 100Kcal from coffee.

Fair enough, I like the proportion of calories from beer! If I could get by on one meal in a day I’d find keeping weight off a lot easier.

I find that I just don't need to eat in the morning so I normally get by with a mug of coffee; and by lunch time (if I'm not driving anywhere) I go and get a beer from the garage to keep me happy until dinner time.

COFFEE HAS CALORIES?!

COFFEE HAS CALORIES?!
Not really, but Camp Coffee does!
I had a "regress back to childhood" moment in Tesco last week and bought a bottle; which SWMBO has stoically refused to drink!
It tastes lovely ...
... but I doubt if I will buy another bottle for a few years!
That takes me back to the coffee shortage (i think it was the 70s) i used to drink CAMP coffee back then.

I have some chicory coffee in the pantry, taste is not bad, mouthfeel is a bit thicker than proper coffee. Might try it again.
Whittaker's pink peppercorn gin and tonic!

I had a bottle of the Tynt Meadow trappist beer last night. Not bad, quite similar to a Dubbel but slightly overhopped and too bitter for the style.
